Hi Claude,

Yes I'm one of the the main maintainers, along with the Debiann 
pkg-voip-maintainers of the asterisk-sounds-xxx packages.
http://packages.debian.org/asterisk-sounds-main
http://packages.debian.org/asterisk-sounds-extra

Great!  Debian is very happy to distribute packages licenced under the GPL.

http://ftp.digium.com/pub/asterisk/asterisk-sounds-1.2.1.tar.gz actually 
appears to be licenced under a BSD licence. Which we are happy to include in 
Debian.

However Debian is not happy to distribute the Music On Hold (MOH) files from 
fpm <http://ftp.digium.com/pub/asterisk/asterisk-1.2.7.1.tar.gz> as they are 
licenced only for use with asterisk, and this is incompatible with the Debian 
Free Software Guildlines
<http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines>. However if upstream were 
to relicense these or other MOH under the GPL we would be happy to include 
them in Debian.

Our preference would be for a distributed tar file, like the files referenced 
earlier so we can have some portion of version control.

You might even want to separate the sounds from the main tar of the asterisk 
software, as the sounds tend not to update as quickly as the software.

Yes high quality prompts, such as wav, would sound a lot better than the 
current gsm encoding.

Great.

Please let us know when they are ready.
